SCENE: Cliff and Lila’s penthouse.

As Lila hovers over him trying to get his attention and to show affection towards her, Cliff responds with nasty exasperation, accusing her of holding him back with her neediness. The conversation explodes into an exchange of long-simmering grievances.

lyrics

Gravity, Gravity
(Cliff / Lila)

[Cliff]
All the people down there
see me in the air
Working my fame
in the finance game
Testing my reach
Fighting my fights
from an eagle’s nest
at the highest heights

[Lila]
Madman’s gold
out of control
Trading all day
Molly all night
Still saying
‘what’s mine is yours’
to a woman you’re trying to ignore

[Cliff]
You got problems, baby
Can’t let your problems
become my problems
Especially when I’m
giving you the money to solve ‘em
Huffing that stuff
Smoking that kill
This ain’t love
it’s a test of will
and right about now I’ve
had my fill of this

[Cliff & Lila]
Gravity, Gravity

[Lila]
Pulling down on me

[Cliff]
Resenting your insecurity

[Lila]
You’re forcing me to my knees

[Cliff]
Emasculation by degrees

[Cliff & Lila]
Too much
Gravity

[Lila]
Now after the silence
that follows the fighting
here come the flowers

[Cliff]
Turning up your nose at this ivory tower?

[Lila]
You give me wealth and then take my soul

[Cliff]
I give you the world, you swallow it whole

[Lila]
That prenup deal was a con job steal

[Cliff]
It’s keeping me from underneath your heel

[Lila]
Loving your looks and erotic energy

[Cliff]
Hating your sorority girl placidity

[Lila]
Used to be addicted to your virility

[Cliff]
till you said the only thing I bring is instability

[Lila]
Nothing’s real

[Cliff]
Bets are off

[Lila]
Running in place

[Cliff]
Losing face

[Lila]
Anesthetized

[Cliff]
Pulverized by

[Cliff & Lila]
Gravity, Gravity
Pulling down on me

[Lila]
This oppressive gravity
has got me tethered once again

[Cliff]
You’re born to be sad

[Lila]
You’re unglued, raving mad

[Cliff]
The controlling, needy

[Lila]
oppressive, crushing force of

[Cliff & Lila]
Gravity
